Good Deeds.

Shan was siting on the edge of the hospital bed looking at the floor. The doctors were making her stay. She looked over at her red vest that was laying on the chair. She stood up, a wave of dizziness shot threw her and she fell forward. The door opened and a nurse walked in.

"Oh my," she said and turned to the door. "She’s at it again." She said. Shan looked up at her and frowned. Nan walked in flowed by Mark and Quin.

"Shan Doe! You get back in that bed this instant." Nan said sternly.

"I feel fine really," Shan said trying to stand up, she stumbled and landed on the bed.

"The nurse looked at Shans chart and then left." Nan looked at Shan sternly.

"You need to rest." She said siting down.

"How much more rest do I need? I was out for a week." Shan said frowning.

Mark and Quin sat down in some chairs that were against the wall. Shan smiled at them and they smiled back. "I don’t see why I have to stay. I mean I’m fine." Shan said setting back in her bed.

"No you’re not." Nan said sighing.

"Name one thing that’s wrong with me Nan." Shan said folding her arms. Nan leaned forward and looked at Shan.

"For one the Doctor said that you are extremely worn out from lack of sleep. Two, you have burns on your hands. Three, every time you try to stand up you fall over. Need I go on?" Nan said smiling. Shan sighed.

"No, I’ll stay." Shan looked over at Mark and Quin. "Like I was saying before she’s like a mom." They all laughed.

"You know there are so many reporters down in the lobby," Quin said.

"Really," Shan said in surprise.

"Yea relay," Mark said putting his hand on his head. "It’s like trying to walk threw a heard of Tauros." Nan sighed.

"It’s getting late Shan I have to go and call home to check on the kids. I left Scarlet in charge," Shan laughed.

"Those kids never listen to her Nan. Why did you leave her in charge?" Nan shrugged and left the room. Once she was gone Shan turned to Mark and Quin.

"I have to get out of hear," Quin and Mark looked at each other. "I know Nan wants me to stay but I can’t stand it hear." Mark leaned forward and brushed his hair from his face.

"Shan you really should stay." He said.

"Yea and besides," Quin said standing up. "You would never get past the reporters. It’s all the cops can do to keep them out of your room." Shan sat up quickly, she felt dizzy again but it passed.

"I’m under guard!?" She looked over at the door. There was a small window at the top but she couldn’t see any police.

"Man are you ever." Mark said. "You have three cops outside your door. We couldn’t even visit you with out Nan saying it was ok."

"This is great," Shan said reaching for the TV remote. "Let’s just watch some TV. I don’t want to think about what happened any more."

"Sounds great," Quin said and sat back down. "See if you can find some music videos." Mark made a face.

"How about a game show?" The two girls looked at him and laughed. "What? Game shows are interesting." Shan turned on the TV and flipped to the channels until she found Jeopardy. "I’ve always liked Jeopardy." She said and set the remote down. They were about to answer the final question when a reporter interrupted the show.

"Ah," Mark said, "they were going to give the answer."

"Hey it’s the arena." Quin said. Shan turned up the sound.

"Last week police were shocked to find that a young girl was attacked by team rocket. Behind me is the Moon arena, were the event occurred." The camera pointed at the arena.

"Hey look there," Quin said. "That’s were we got out at. Were that truck's parked."

"The young girl was found laying in the ring surrounded by injured team rocket members. The hospital has refused to give her name" Shan let out a sigh of relieve. Mark looked over at her and then back at the TV.

"Not much is know about what happened, but the police will question the Rockets just as soon as they recover."

"Oh no," Shan said.

"The girl is doing fine at the hospital and is expected to be fine. This is." Shan turned off the TV. Quin looked over at Shan.

"Do you think that the rockets will tell the police what happened?"

"I don’t think so," Shan said turning of the TV. "At least I hope not."

"Hey let's forget about it for now," Mark said. "I mean you need to rest and Quin and I have to get going." Shan sighed.

"Do you guys relay have to leave?"

"I'm afraid so," said nurse walking in. They turned to look at her.

"But will meet you hear tomorrow and we’ll head out together." Quin said standing up.

Mark suddenly jumped up. "Hey I almost forgot to tell you." He reached in his pocket and took out a badge. "Quin and I went back to Pewter while you were out and we each won a real badge." Shan smiled.

"That’s great. I knew you two could do it."

"You should have seen it," Quin said standing. "I actually fought Steel. Of course it took us each three days to beat him. After the second time we sort of got lucky." Mark sighed.

"Not only was he a tough pokemon trainer he was a tough fighter. I remember the first time we went there, neither of us wanted to waste time in the gym so we bought the badges." Mark sighed. "But, after we saw how you fought we decided that we should try to get in the League the right way."

"That’s great guys," Shan said. "One day we’ll all be masters." Shan looked over at the window. "I know that one day we will end up fighting each other in the league but," Quin and Mark looked at Shan. "I think we can be a great team and really help each other in the battles ahead."

"Your right Shan," said Mark.

"Yea," Quin said throwing her arms in the air. "We can make it together and when we get to the league we will all become masters." Shan smiled and got out of the bed. She wobbled a bit causing the nurse to walk towards her. She raised her hand and stood up.

"Ok," Shan said holding out her hand. "We are a team."

"Yep," Quin said and put her hand on top of Shans.

"Yes," Mark did the same. "Were a team." The three looked at each other and began to laugh. Shan set down on her bed and watched as Quin and Mark left. The nurse smiled at Shan when they were gone.

"You and your friends have a long way to go to get to the league but if you stick together you can make it." Shan smiled at her politely.

"Thanks," Shan took out Charmanders pokeball and was about to release her when the Nurse stopped her.

"I’m sorry," she said taking the ball away from Shan. "But pokemon aren’t allowed in the hospital."

"Oh," Shan said sadly. "But she’ll be good. She’s really sweet and so gentle." The nurse smiled.

"Well maybe what kind is she?" Shan smiled.

"One of the most wonderful types in the world, a Charmander." The room was silent.

"Absolutely not." The nurse said causing Shans face to fall in to a frown. "Fire types are a definite no. If you had a Normal type you could allow it out but only if you keep it under control and you keep it in this room." The smile returned to Shans face.

"Ok I’ll let my Eevee out," Shan picked up Eevees pokeball that was lying next to her on the nightstand. "She’s a normal type. Come on out Eevee." In a flash of red Eevee appeared and jumped into her masters’ arms.

"Aww she’s cute." The nurse said and pet Eevee on the head. Eevee smiled.

"Eevee." She said and licked the Nurses hand.

"Ok," the nurse said. "I have to go. Remember to keep her in this room and out of trouble."

"Eevee." Eevee said. Shan scratched her behind the ear and looked at the nurse.

"Don’t worry we will." The nurse left closing the door behind her. Outside of the door Shan could hear the Nurse talking with the police officers that were outside of her room. Shan reached over and turned off the light next to her bed. Shan drifted off to sleep hugging Eevee who soon fell asleep next to her.

When Morning came Shan woke up to find Eevee gone. "Hu, Eevee," she said rubbing her eyes. "Were are you?" Shan got out of bed and looked around the room. She looked every were, under the bed, in the closet, and even under the chairs. "Eevee were are you come on this isn’t funny." Shan turned to see that the door was slightly opened. "Oh no," grabbing her pokeball belt she said and went out the door. The police were gone, probably back to the station. Shan walked past room after room. Calling out for Eevee.

"Eevee, hear girl." Shan was about to head back to her room to look for Eevee again when she heard laughing coming from a room at the end of the hallway. Shan walked towards the room and smiled when she looked inside. Eevee was playing with some children who were laughing as she balanced herself on her ball.

"There you are Eevee," Shan said stepping into the room. The children all looked at her.

"Hi," said a little boy. "Is dat your pokemon?"

"She sure is," she said picking Eevee up. "I thought I lost her, it’s a good thing you guys found her." The kids laughed as Eevee crawled up onto Shans head.

"Oh no," Shan said putting her hands on her hip. "I’ve lost her again." The children laughed again. "Have you seen my Eevee?" Shan asked looking form child to child.

"She’s on your head," they all called out in unison. Eevee jumped down of Shans head and landed behind her.

"On my head?" Shan felt her head with her hand. "Well She’s gone again." The children laughed.

"Eeveee," Eevee said and rubbed against Shans leg.

"There you are girl," she jumped into Shans arms. "I’m glad your back."

"Eevee is so smart," said a little girl holding a Snorlax doll. "Do you have any other pokemon?" She asked.

"Yep, I have three more." Shan took out Rattatas pokeball and Buterfrees and released them. The children gasped in amazement as Buterfree flew over them. Rattata surprisingly enough allowed the children to pet him.

"I thought you said you had three more," another kid said. "Why didn’t you let the other one out?"

"Because my other pokemon is a fire type and that type isn’t allowed in the hospital." Shan recalled her pokemon much to the children’s dismay. But when she explained that the pokemon needed to save their strength the kids got over it.

Shan stayed with the kids most of the morning answering their questions. "How do you train pokemon Miss Shan." Asked Sparkle a young girl with a cast on her leg.

"Well," Shan said smiling. "First you have to be friends with your pokemon. If your not friends your pokemon might not listen to you. Second you have to battle your pokemon to make them stronger." The kids all nodded in agreement.

"Well then how do you know what type you should use in a battle," said Dave.

"That’s a very good question Dave." He smiled and stuck out his chest. "It depends on what type the other trainer uses. If the person you are battling against uses a water type you might want to use a electric type because they are strong against water." Shan stretched a bit. A few of the girls imitated her. "Every one has there own favorite type. I like fire pokemon." Shan was about to tell them some more when she heard a voice from behind her.

"Hear you are," Said the Nurse. "We have been looking all over for you Shan it’s time for you to sign out. The kids all frowned and said no in unison.

"Ahh, can’t you stay and tell us some more." The Nurse stepped forward.

"Come on kids she has to get back on the path to the pokemon league." Shan stood up and waved good bye to the kids. Shan and the nurse left the children’s ward and went back to Shans room. When Shan got there she found an angry Nan.

"Young lady," she said as Shan walked into the room. "Were have you been? I was worried."

"Sorry Nan. Eevee got away and I had to go and find her. When I did I couldn’t leave." Nan looked puzzled. "You see she found her way to the children’s ward and when I found her I couldn’t help but play with the kids. They asked alot of questions." Nan smiled.

"You have such a way with kids Shan." The nurse smiled.

"Those kids really enjoyed your visit." She suddenly looked sad. "They don’t get to have that kind of fun," she sighed "the hospital has lost some funding and so the entertainment we used to hire to entertain the kids had to be cut."

"That’s to bad," said Shan walking into the restroom to get changed.

"Yes," the nurse said. "It’s a real shame."

"Those poor dears," Nan said. "I wish there was something we could do." Shan came out and smiled.

"I know something we can do." Shan said and smiled.

"Oh no," Nan said. "I know that smile Shan. What are you cooking up?"

"You’ll see Nan." The nurse and Nan looked at each other. Nan and Shan left the hospital and met up with Quin and Mark in front of the hospital.

"Hi guys." Shan said.

"Hey Shan," Mark said waving. Nan and Shan walked over to them.

"So are you ready to go?" Asked Quin. Shan shook her head.

"No," they all looked at her in surprise. "I want to do something for the kids in the hospital, and I need your help guys." Nan smiled.

"Shan I have to get back home. If I don’t the kids will drive Scarlet nuts." Shan hugged Nan good bye and watched as she left. Shan turned to Mark and Quin.

"So what is it you want to do with the kids Shan?" Quin said siting down on the grass. They had went to a nearby park to talk and let their pokemon play.

"Well a nurse told me that hospital had to cut it’s funding so the entertainment that they hire for the kids is gone."

"That’s to bad." Said Mark. Marks Squirtel climbed onto Marks back as his Tauros chased his Pidgey around. Quin’s Staryu was sitting besides her and her Seel and Farfetch'd slept behind her.

"Yes but I have an idea. We can entertain the kids with our pokemon."

"That’s a great idea Shan." Said Quin. "I’m sure that my pokemon make them happy."

"But what if the hospital says no." Mark said.

"Why would they say no," Quin said.

"Well they might Quin. I mean those kids are sick," he folded his arms in front of him. "They might not let them outside to see the pokemon and I know that they won’t let us take our pokemon into the hospital. If I let my Tauros out he’d trash the place."

"Your right," Shan said. "So we’ll have to do it outside. The kids could watch from their windows. I’m sure the hospital wouldn’t mind, and we could head out for Mount Mood when were done.." Shan picked up Charmander. "You should have seen how much those kids really wanted to know about pokemon."

"Charmander," Charmander said and hugged Shan.

"Lets do it." Mark said standing up. He recalled his pokemon. "It will be fun and our pokemon can get some experience."

"Yay." Quin said jumping up. "This is going to be fun. We can ware our new Gi’s Mark."

Shan stood up. "You two bought Karate uniforms?" she said smiling.

"Yea Mines green and Marks is blue."

"Cool," Shan said. "Hears how were going to do it." Shan told Quin and Mark about her idea. When she was done they all went back to the hospital and went in and told the Nurses what they were planing. Shan, Quin and Mark all dressed in their uniforms stood outside of the kids’ window waiting. Then very slowly many small faces began to peer out at them.

"Ok kids," Shan said smiling. "My friends and I are going to give you a demonstration with pokemon." Quin spun around and stepped forward.

"Prepare to be amassed and astounded with my water pokemon." Mark jumped forward.

"And get ready for a special battle just for all of you." Shan jumped high in the air. The children gasped in amassment as she did a flipped and landed gracefully.

"And get ready to feel the heat of my pokemon." Shan said and released Charmander.

"Are you ready kids," they all said in unison.

"Yea," the kids said.

"Then lets get started with Quin and her amazing pokemon." Mark said and he and Shan stepped off to the side.

"Ok kids," Quin said taking out a pokeball. "Hear is one of the most beautiful pokemon in the world. Go Staryu." Staryu jumped out of its pokeball and landed in front of Quin. "And now let me introduce you to Seel." Seel was released. "Ok watch this."

Quin raised her hands into the air and Staryu jumped up onto Seels' nose. Seel balanced Staryu and did a few flips. Quin received claps from the excited children.

"Now kids," Quin said recalling her pokemon. "Hear is Mark, he likes to train normal type pokemon and water types."

Mark stepped forward. "Hey kids," he took out his pokeballs. "I would like to show you my pokemon." He threw three of the pokeballs to the ground and Pidgey, Squirtel, and Tauros jumped out.

"Ok," Mark said raising his hand "Thunder run in a circle." Marks Tauros began to run in a circle. "Now Kuririn, jump on to Thunders back." Marks Squirtel ran forward and jumped high in the air on to Thunders back. The kids along with Shan and Quin clapped and cheered.

"Now," Mark said looking at his Pidgey. "Glitter use your gust and Kuririn use your water gun." Glitter began to flap her wings rapidly as Kuririn shoot out a stream of water. The water gun attack combined with the gust attack and the water was lifted into the air were it began to sparkle in the sun as if fell to the ground. The kids went wild.

"Thanks kids," Mark said. Marks Squirtel, Kuririn, gave a bow. "Now I will introduce you to Shan." Shan jumped high in the air and doing another flip landing in front of the kids.

"To be a trainer you must know your pokemon. You have to treat them with respect and love or they won’t get strong." Shan took out her pokeballs. "Let me introduce you to my Pokemon." Shan threw all of her pokeballs down and in a flash of red lights all of them were standing in front of her.

"This is Buterfree," Shan said. When he heard his name Butterfree flew up into the sky. "Buterfree is a bug type his attacks include tackle, sleep powder, and confusion." Shan recalled him.

"This is Eevee." The kids went nuts. They cheered loudly and clapped as Eevees name was mentioned. "Eevee can evolve into one of three different types. She is very rare and fast." Eevee began to dart around Shan. The kids continued to cheer. Shan recalled Eevee.

"Now let me introduce you to the bravest of all pokemon. Rattata." Rattata leapt forward.

"Rattata," he said and began to run around Shan as Eevee had done.

"Rattata is strong and is a good example of why you should never underestimate a pokemon. When he is in a battle he goes all out." She recalled him.

"Now," Shan said smiling. "Charmander. She is a fire type." Charmander jumped up and did a hand stand.

"Watch this kids." Shan smiled. "Charmander uses your ember just like we practiced."

"Charmander," she said and began to spin around. Suddenly rings of fire were appearing around Charmander who sent them out at Rattata. Rattata jumped threw the fire rings quickly with out getting burned.

"Yay," shouted the kids. Shan laughed. She held up her hands.

"Now it’s time for a battle. You will be seeing to great trainer’s battle their pokemon. Quin and Mark will battle while you watch and cheer on for them." Quin and Mark walked out and faced each other and smiled.

"Ok," Shan said. "This match will be two against two. You each may use two of any of your pokemon." Quin and Mark nodded.

"I choose for my first pokemon," Mark said taking out his pokeball. "Ekans." A purple snake came from the ball.

"And I choose," Quin said taking out her pokeball. "Staryu". The two pokemon stood facing each other.

"Ekans use poison." Mark yelled. Ekans moved forward and bit at Staryu who jumped out of the way.

"Nice try Mark." Quin said. "Staryu, water gun." Staryu pointed its arms at Ekans and three blasts of water hit it hard causing it to fall back and faint.

"Ok Quin," Mark said taking out his next pokeball. "Let’s see if you can beat this one. "Go Tauros," Quin frowned.

"Staryu," she said. "Tackle it now." Staryu jumped up and spun towards Thunder who ran out of the way.

"Tauros stomp it now." Mark said. Thunder reared up and brought his front hooves down hard on Staryu who fell down and fainted.

"No Staryu return. Ok Mark lets see you beat Ivy." Quin sent out her Tangela.

"Thunder stomp it now." Thunder ran forward at Ivy and reared up again.

"Ivy use rap," Ivy suddenly shot its vines at Thunder and raped him up and began to squeeze. Thunder fainted as Ivy let him go.

The kids began to cheer and clap. Quin and Mark shook hands and bowed at the kids. Shan stepped forward.

"That was a battle," she said. "As you see you have to use strategy. You should never just send a pokemon out with out knowing what type of pokemon your going to be fighting." Shan smiled. "When you all are old enough you will be able to start your own journeys." The kids clapped.

Shan, Quin and Mark were thanked by the hospital. The kids drew them pictures of there pokemon. Mark smiled when they gave him a picture of him fighting Quin. Shan laughed at it because it showed Mark crying after he lost to Quin. The girls swarmed around Quin and asked her about her Staryu. After they said their good-byes. Shan, Quin and Mark headed off to Mount moon talking about the kids and all of the fun that they had with the kids.
